Cartridge 57 mm L/70 Pre-FragmentedCartridge 57 mm L/70 Pre-FragmentedHigh-Explosive C101 with Proximity FuzeHigh-Explosive C101 with Proximity FuzeFor over 40 years, SNC TEC has been aleader in the manufacture and assembly ofreliable high-quality ammunition and hasmeet the stringent operational require-ments of its clients. ISO 9001 certifiedsince 1994, SNC TEC ensures that all itsproducts meet the highest standards ofquality, security and performance.
The PFHE C101 cartridge, part of the57mm family of naval ammunition, is aremarkable example of that result.Manufactured under BOFORS license bySNC TEC for the Canadian Forces, it istype classified by the Department ofNational Defence and meets all CanadianForces requirements for safety, reliabilityand effectiveness.
This round was specifically designedfor air defence in order to optimise thevolume of fragmentation delivered byeach salvo of proximity-fuzed shells.The fragmentation effect of the shell isdesigned to give a high kill probabilitywhen bursting in proximity to aerial tar-gets. A large number of high velocityfragments are dispersed over a wideangle, thus delivering lethal splintersover large areas of the target.
The shell incorporates an electronicproximity fuze, high-explosive burstingcharge and a double-walled, high-gradesteel body, which houses a large quantityof heavy alloy balls. Upon detonationthe balls are given a high velocity and dueto their low drag, and high density,achieve excellent penetration. The rearend of the shell is so formed that thefragments of the shell itself are spreadout rearwards.
